The first research question is to analyze the factors that play into whether an individual has meaningful employment within their high school county, EDR, research region, and Minnesota at time X.
There are three “times” in which we checked to see if the individual had meaningful employment within these geographies;
Meaningful employment is determined by whether an individual worked 1,000 hours for an employer during time X. In addition, if the individual is working for an employer but not meaningful at time X but worked 1,000 hours for that employer during another year it’s still considered “meaningful”.
Due to time x potentially being passed the date of the latest data (2019) for some individuals, the analysis below will filter out all individuals where time x is after 2019.
From the multiple correspondence analysis and the principle component analysis we determined that the following independent variables will be included in the analysis, although I’m no including the CTE.# ones yet;

Our dependent variable - the individual has meaningful employment in same location X as their high school - has 4 different outcomes.
Since we are most interested in whether an individual has meaningful employment in region X at time X we will create two groups; 1. all individuals that meet the criteria/outcome 1 from list above, and 2. all remaining individuals.
For each time X we will analyze whether the independent variables differ significantly on whether an individual has a MN employment record AND has meaningful employment AND the meaningful employment is in the same region X as their high school.
The structure of the analysis will look like this;
For categorical variables I’ll be using the Cramer’s v-square measure of association. The V^2 value is from 0 to 1 with 0 meaning there’s no association and a value closer to 1 indicates a strong association.
For the variables with continuous values I’ll be using the Wilcoxon two paired groups test. P-value will be used to determine whether we can reject the NULL hypothesis at a .01 level. I’ll also include boxplots to see in which direction there might be influence from the variables.
The chart below provides the percentage of individuals in the dataset that had meaningful employment in the same county as their high school the year of their graduation, graduation year +2, and graduation year +7. The percentage of individuals does increase with each subsequent time X - 12.4% the year of gradation, 17.4% two years after graduation, and 20% seven years after graduation.
Now let’s examine whether there are any relationships between these individuals and the independent variables.
Race/Ethnicity: The crosstabs indicate a relationship between whether an individual has meaningful employment in the same county as their high school the year they graduate and the individual’s race/ethnicity. The p-value was 0, however the Cramer’s V^2 value was 0.068, indicating a weak association. Highlights in the table include;

Dem_Desc: The p-value indicates that we can reject the null hypothesis and acknowledge that the variables may have a relationship. The Cramer’s V^2 value is only 0.053, indicating that the relationships are weak. Highlights from the table include;
EDR: The p-value indicates that we can reject the null hypothesis and acknowledge that the variables may have a relationship. The Cramer’s V^2 value however is only 0.050, indicating the associations are weak. Highlights in the table include;
avg.unemployment.rate: The p-value does indicate a relationship between whether an individual has meaningful employment in the same county as their high school the year of graduation and the average unemployment rate in that county. It states that as unemployment increases, the likliness of having “match” increases as well.
avg.wages.pct.state: The Wilcoxon test p-value indicates a relationship between whether an individual has meaningful employment in the same county as their high school the year of graduation and the average wages in the high school county as a percent of the state average wages. The boxplots show that counties with a higher percentage equaled a higher liklihood of their being a county match in employment.
avg.cte.intensity: The p-value indicates that we can reject the null hypothesis and accept that there’s a relationship between whether an individual works in the same county as their high school and the average CTE intensity at their high school. The boxplots show that individuals that did have meaninful employment the year of graduation went to a high school with an average cte intensity that was slightly higher.

The chart below provides the percentage of individuals in the dataset that had meaningful employment in the same EDR as their high school the year of their graduation, graduation year +2, and graduation year +7. The percentage of individuals does increase with each subsequent time X - 14.9% the year of gradation, 22.5% two years after graduation, and 27,6% seven years after graduation.
Race/Ethnicity: The crosstabs indicate a relationship between whether an individual has meaningful employment in the same EDR as their high school the year they graduate and the individual’s race/ethnicy. The p-value was 0, however the Cramer’s V^2 value was 0.064, indicating a weak association. Highlights in the table include;

The chart below provides the percentage of individuals in the dataset that had meaningful employment in one of the three research EDRs the year of their graduation, graduation year +2, and graduation year +7. The percentage of individuals does increase with each subsequent time X - 16.2% the year of gradation, 25.4% two years after graduation, and 32.1% seven years after graduation.
Race/Ethnicity: The crosstabs indicate a relationship between whether an individual has meaningful employment in one of the three EDRs the year they graduate and the individual’s race/ethnicity. The p-value was 0, however the Cramer’s V^2 value was 0.063, indicating a weak association. Highlights in the table include;

Okay, let’s summarize all of this analysis. Below are tables that indicate which variables were significant (p-value < .01).
We will group variables by their themes/labels, for example we will start with Demographic variables, and then summarize the High school characteristics, etc…..
The race and ethnicity variable provided significant differences pretty consistently across time and place. A couple of interesting things about this variable, however, is that the race and ethnicity that experienced significant differences changes over time. For grad year +0, Hispanic and Black individuals had meaningful employment at a much higher rate than all other races. By grad year +7, that advantage decreased and there was much less difference. All other races were pretty equal. Interestingly, white individuals had an equal or higher rate of meaningful employment by grad year +7, especially at the MN level.
Dem_Desc: At grad year +0, there was a higher proportion of individuals that graduated from a town/rural mix high school that had meaningful employment. By grad year +7, that separation was less significant. In particular, there became a higher proportion of individuals that graduated from a entirely rural high school that had meaningful employment.
EDR: For all grad years, EDR 6W consistently had a significantly lower proportion of individuals that had meaningful employment at the county and EDR level. However, that changed when looking at whether an individual had meaningful employment in any of the three EDRs where there was not much difference at all between the EDRs. Interestingly, when we get to the question of whether an individual has meaningful employment in Minnesota at any of the time X, EDR 8 - Southwest has a significantly lower proportion.
avg.unemployment.rate: This variable seems to have very little impact.
avg.wages.pct.state” This variable only seemed to have an impact when asking whether an individual had meaningful employment at the county and Minnesota level. When there was a relationship, the boxplots indicated that if the average wages of an individuals high school county made up a higher percentage of the state average then there was a higher liklihood that the individual had meaningful employment in their high school county and Minnesota.
avg.cte.intensity: This variable seems to have no impact.
LimitedEnglishProficiencyIndicator: This variable was signifiacnt for grad year +0, but no other. It consistently showed that a larger proportion of individuals designated as having limited english proficiency had meaningful employment across all geographies.
PSEO.participant: This variable was consistently significantly different across time X and geographies. It always showed that a significantly larger proportion of individuals that participated in PSEO class(es) had meaningful employment across all geographies. The only time that wasn’t the case was at time X = grad year +7 and if having meaningful employment in Minnesota. There was no statistically significant difference at that time X and for all meaningful employment in Minnesota.
non.english.home: A larger proportion of individuals that were categorized as having a non-english speaking home had meaningful employment at the time of graduation across all geographies, and two years after graduation. However, by seven years after graduation, that changed. There was no statistical difference for individuals having meaningful employment at the County or EDR level. And by seven years after graduation, there was a larger proportion of individuals that were NOT designated as having a non-english speaker at home that had meaningful employment in one of the three EDRs and Minnesota.
english.learner: This is EXACTLY the same as non.english.home.
took.act: For nearly all geographies and time X, a larger proportion of individuals that did not take the ACT had meaningful employment in the measured geography compared to individuals that did take the ACT. However, there is no significant difference at seven years after graduation and individuals having meaningful employment in Minnesota.
ap.exam: For all geographies and Time X, a larger proportion of individuals that did not take the AP Exam had meaningful employment in those geographies.
total.cte.courses.taken: For all geographies and Time X, individuals that had meaningful employment had likely taken more CTE courses.
